not clear on what you want.. using a fine meshgrid and surf to plot results in a smooth surface...If grid lines are too dense, turn them off. Use contour to plot contour lines at an interval you specify.
John D'Errico's submission GridFit may be of use.

Is this what you're looking for?

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/9315-wireframe


[x,y]=meshgrid(-2:0.01:2,-2:0.01:2);
z = x.^2-cos(5*x).*y.^2 + 0.3;
surf(x,y,z, 'EdgeColor', 'none');
alpha(0.35);
colormap(bone(512));
wireframe(x,y,z,50);
